NextEra Energy has signed a renewable product purchase agreement (RPPA) with chemical and plastics manufacturer Ingevity to produce offsetting renewable energy to lower Scope 2 emissions related to the latter’s US manufacturing locations.
As part of the agreement, Ingevity will receive 85MW of capacity at a new NextEra Energy Resources solar site to be constructed in North Texas.
With Ingevity’s commitment, the project is expected to contribute a significant source of sustainable energy to the state.
In exchange for Ingevity’s commitment to the site, the company will receive and retire renewable energy credits to offset a significant portion of its Scope 2 emissions from US manufacturing locations.
NextEra Energy Resources and Ingevity expect the solar facility to be fully operational by the end of 2025.
